    Oh well your's seems bit more in depth! Let Alliance do 2 checks, Express or Ultimate !Mine was the Ultimate check and on the website Let Alliance says


    Our checks include:

    Affordability check - obviously contact fella's employer which is fine!
    Electoral Roll check- yep both on there so fine
    County Court Judgements / Bankruptcy Orders / IVA’s check - neither of us have these but both have defaults/late payments
    Non disclosed information check - we disclosed the defaults/late payments
    Cross application check - ?

    Those are all they do for the express check! and add these for the ultimate!

    Previous / Current / Future Employers reference - As already stated will contact employer for affordability factor!
    Previous / Current Landlord Check - I have private landlord currently so wont be issue!
    Full Guarantor references if required- we have a guarantor in employment, earns 4 x rent and home owner with good credit so no issue there!


    So i can't see there being any issues!? Im keeping all my fingers n toes crossed though as we desperate for keys and cant afford to keep giving out referencing fees! I just hope im worrying for nothin but they don't half make it difficult don't they!!
